Elon Musk Challenges Mark Zuckerberg To ‘A Cage Match,’ Facebook Founder Responds: ‘Send Me Location!’

The world of social media might just see a battle between its top two competitors as billionaires Mark Zuckerberg, 39, and Elon Musk, 51, took to their social media platforms recently suggesting a fight might happen soon.

On Tuesday, Twitter user Mark Nawfal tweeted that Musk might have some competition with a rumored project by Zuckerberg called Threads, which is intended to rival the struggling Twitter.

In response to Nawfal’s tweet, Musk wrote, “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options. At least it will be “sane.” Was worried there for a moment.”

Another Twitter user warned Musk to be careful, as Zuckerberg “does jiu-jitsu,” which initiated the “cage match” offer.

“I’m up for a cage match if he is,” Musk responded. 

Zuckerberg, who is the CEO of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, replied with an Instagram story, sharing a screenshot of the Twitter exchange and stating, “Send Me Location.” 

Musk promptly told the Meta founder, “Vegas Octagon,” and continued in a separate tweet, “I have this great move that I call “The Walrus,” where I just lie on top of my opponent & do nothing.”

He then posted multiple videos of walruses to rile up the Facebook founder. 

He added, “If this is for real, I will do it.” 

Although Musk suggests his seriousness about the impending fight, it’s still unsure how serious the two kings of social media are.

While the internet waits for them to decide, fans have taken it upon themselves to take sides and voice who they think will win in the fight. 

In a recent Instagram post of Zuckerberg practicing jiu-jitsu, one person said, “Elon don’t stand a chance.”

“I need to see what Elon Musk got going on ’cause clearly Mark has something going on over here,” another said. 

In a poll made by a Twitter user, users said that Zuckerberg would win in a cage match. 

“Elon is my guy, but have you seen Zuck lately? He ain’t no joke,” a third person remarked. 

The fight isn’t likely to happen, though, as the Tesla CEO is known to make joking promises that often fail to happen. 

Last December, he tweeted a poll that asked if he should step down as head of Twitter, and after more than half of the voters said yes, he said he would step down as CEO if he found someone to succeed him. Later on, he said that his “dog is the CEO of Twitter” in an interview with BBC.
